welcome friends welcome back to the
kitchen welcome back to sunday morning
and the old cookbook show today we're
going to do something from a cookbook
sent in by a viewer thank you very much
for sending this to us um
it's a little outside of the time frame
that we normally deal with this is
undated but i would say it's probably
1975 or 1976
and it's called
attempting treats from the ontario maple
bushes
published by the ontario maple syrup
producers association
and
it is one of those cookbooks meant to
get you cooking with maple syrup
and it's one of those cookbooks that you
would find
at the maple bush at the sugar shack in
the gift shop probably also in the gift
shop of places like upper canada village
or fort henry or fort york places like
that
and pretty much every recipe in here i
can open to almost any page
and maple bread pudding i want to make
that
i want to make that maple custard i want
to make maple custard maple custard
sounds really great
boiled maple icing sounds fantastic for
a cake
maple baked lamb flank
ontario maple chicken pretty much every
recipe in here there's even one
for frankfurters can i find that maple
glazed frankfurters you take a pound of
wieners and then you combine it
with maple syrup
and soy sauce
and then you roast them all together
sounds really kind of intriguing
something i might enjoy but today
we're going to do maple breakfast cake
because
any official document that says cake is
for breakfast that's something i want to
eat so we're going to start out in this
bowl
with some pastry flour and if you live
in the united states cake flour would be
the the equivalent
and whole wheat flour that's what makes
this for breakfast it's the whole wheat
flour for sure
then
baking powder
salt
cinnamon
and some nutmeg
[Music]
now
this is one of those cakes that seems to
be
super simple to put together that's all
of the dry ingredients so just give that
a little bit of a mix bring it together
and now we deal with the wet ingredients
and so that's two thirds of a cup of
maple syrup
okay
yeah two thirds of a cup seems like an
awful lot doesn't it but i'm sure it's
going to be fantastic so then i also
need two thirds of a cup of milk
and these are canadian cups of course uh
slightly different than american cups
so that brings us to
that point
and then
an egg
so in goes the egg
and then
the tiniest little bit of melted butter
not much butter at all
and
give that a whisk
now i just dump the liquid into the dry
and combine them
so
um add the dry ingredients
i'm just going to pour it all and see
what happens we'll mix this up
and maybe the whisk might be the better
option but we'll see
yeah that came together really nicely so
i have a 9 inch cake pan that is greased
and has a parchment disk in the bottom
so here we go
batter in
there we go
now
says to top with cinnamon and maple
sugar so
sprinkle some cinnamon on top
that was maybe a little bit more than a
tablespoon of cinnamon
and this is our homemade maple sugar
that's our homemade maple syrup too so
if you're new to the channel
take a look back on the channel and
you'll see us making maple syrup in our
backyard and you'll also see me making
maple sugar
here in the kitchen
every time i open this jug
it's just incredible so
a little bit of maple sugar on top
it doesn't say how much
i'm going to go a couple of spoonfuls
and into the oven
hey glenn hey jules hey friends oh hello
chicken
i think we need a fork oh yeah sorry i
got so excited because chicken was
hanging out
underneath the counter that uh
look at that oh that's a good looking
cake glad
so that is what is on top like graham
cracker no let's
maple sugar that sounds like a win a
maple breakfast cake so right there it's
for breakfast it's a breakfast cake
because it's got whole wheat flour in it
that makes it healthy it makes it
healthy
okay
dive in
i wasn't sure if it was time
it seems like a very light cake doesn't
it it's got lots of uh
yeah it's got lots of aeration lots of
bubbles
it's not the right word but
every spice cake flavor
um
other than i i kind of thought it would
be more maple more mapley i think maybe
it says to it's said to sprinkle
cinnamon on top
i might have put too much cinnamon on
top and it's and it's dulling the flavor
of
other than that it's a great cake i can
see some without the top then
see how that flavors yeah i know it's a
good scent it's a good spice cake yeah
it's a and it was so easy to make
i mean it really was just dump
everything into a jug and
stir it
it's a breakfast cake
but i would move this into
emergency cake territory
like the kind that you you've got oh my
goodness some people are coming yeah if
i knew you're coming to bake the cake
kind of thing
some people roll up on your doorstep
what am i going to give them with coffee
or tea quick turn the oven on turn the
oven on 15 minutes this is in the oven
by the time you get everybody settled
the cake is out and you're ready to go
wow wouldn't it be impressive
mind you you would have to have maple
syrup and maple sugar but
um
take out the maple syrup and use sorghum
take out the maple syrup it is just a
liquid sugar yeah just use any other
liquid sugar
i don't know if honey would work it
probably would work
it might be a little thick
yeah no but i think it would i think it
would work
give it a shot let us know thanks for
stopping by see you again soon
you
